Join us on a guided bus tour to Bergtatt, a working marble and limestone mine. We drive from Kristiansund towards Eide, where we are met by our hosts and follow them to the entrance of the mine. The bus takes us into the mountain where a safety demonstration will be given before we are equipped with helmets and life jackets.

We board rafts and are taken on an unforgettable trip on an illuminated crystal clear lake. Along the way we get to taste spring water taken straight from the rock wall. We glide towards the grand hall where the tables are bathed with candlelight. Here, we are served a meat and vegetable soup made from local ingredients, and get to see a movie about the mine and mining. We end the day with a short tour of Molde before re-joining the Hurtigruten ship.
